I love inserting disc 2 man. Feels like you've beaten a big chapter
Put this message in your games even if you have no discs

What if you could collect Wikipedia articles and make them battle?
Wikigacha, created by Japanese developer Haruki Sugiyama, turns every Wikipedia article into a collectible trading card.
Vampire: (I hate it when women are angry at me... This is getting out of hand. I don't want to deal with this anymore.)

The takeaway from the success of Iron Lung isn't to fund YouTubers making sci-fi movies about games.
